This is one of the cases where 'tags' are really useful. You can tag
something like tag => "for_collection" in the exported resource, then
when you collect the exported resource, you would do Sshkey <<| tag =>
"for_collection" |>>.

Right but it serves no one including yourself to continue using a
technical term in a technical forum when you really mean some other
concept or principle. It seems like exactly what you want is collecting
exported resources. I recommend checking wiki:ExportedResource if what I
am saying makes no sense.
